Wouldnt Take Nothing for my Journey Now

Today we read two chapters from Maya Angelou's Wouldn't Take Nothing for my Journey Now. A quotation that struck out to me was:

"Life is pure adventure, & the sooner we realize that, the quicker we will be able to treat life as art."

I chose this quote because it stood out more then anything else to me. This quote means to me while living you discover things everyday & when you cherish each day more you will treat life better. I feel that this quote made me realize that you should live everyday to the fullest & you don't know when a day will be your last.

THE OTHER SIDE OF DARK: journal #3

Well usually books easily have me bored & dreading it to be over but i cant say the same thing about this book. Its scary (which i like) & it has suspense, as im reading this book i just want to know what happens next...See when a book has something like that i dont mind reading at all!!!

What i know so far is the main character is Stacy, she wakes up in a hospital scared for her life...
& all she sees is a doctor.... Stacy is constantly pleading for he mother but the doctor wont respond...Then stacy looks at her body & notices she has boobs....& she say this is not my body..
the sad thing is Stacy was in a comma for 4 years because she was shot... So now she is 17 years old.When her father came in he looked so depressed & sad.. but all Stacy wanted to know was where her mother was...
the father started to cry & he said, "you know how you were shot stacy??" "well your mother was shot too except she didnt make it." Stacy didnt know what to do, then the doctor came in & drugged her so she could get some rest.

If i woke up & missed 4 years of my life i would be so sad because you wouldnt even know yourself... it would be so weird just to wake up in a hospital... & then be in some body that you dont even reconize.. that would be scary. & to top it all off, you find out that your mother died..
thats something that no child should have to go through..

I like this book because the author "JOAN LOWERY NIXON" goes straight to the point & she keeps the reader interested...i've only read the beginning & i already love this book!!
